HTC Desire 820 with Snapdragon 615 64-bit chip to be announced in early September

HTC is working on an affordable 64-bit smartphone, part of its Desire series. That model could be known as Desire 820.

It will rock Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 64-bit chip that packs a total of eight Cortex-A53 cores, four of which are clocked at 1.8GHz to take on more demanding / graphic intensive tasks, and four at 1GHz for more mundane things like calls and texts.

Even though this is a 64-bit chip we’re talking about, the Desire 820 will likely be slower than the current HTC One M8.
